You don’t have to fight with enemies and optional mini-bosses in Ashina Castle.
Instead, focus on reachingAshina Reservoir.
Keep jumping down on the rooftops and use the grappling hook a few times.
The smoke coming out from some rooftops will point you the direction.
When you are at the bottom, look for a side passage leading toAshina Reservoir Sculptor’s Idol.
Turn left and use the grappling hook.
This fight is similar to the one you had withGenichiro Ashinaat the top of Ashina Castle.
The biggest difference is that the “new” Genichiro is using Black Mortal Blade.
His attack deals a lot of damage and has a great reach.
Run around one of the larger rocks to make this fight easier.
The boss won’t be able to shoot you with his bow.
it’s possible for you to also use these rocks to hide from Genichiro’s thrust.
Attack him after he hits the rock.
Once Genichiro is dead, the game will start another boss fight.
Your next opponent is Isshin.you could’t rest nor replenish your supplies.
He has three red dots meaning that this fight has three phases.
The first stage is the most difficult.
Shadowrush is the best for this phase.
Use it every time Isshin ends his combo.
Watch out for his ranged attacks (shockwaves) and abilities that let him get quickly near Wolf.
Run towards him and attack.
After that, move away from Isshin and continue running around the glade.
This is a time-consuming method but you won’t have to risk a direct confrontation with Isshin.
